JAMMU: Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha on Tuesday emphasised the need for forward-thinking teachers who can equip students for tomorrow's uncertainties, like Artificial Intelligence (AI) disruptions, climate shifts, inspire to pioneer breakthroughs and fuel a dynamic and innovation-driven economy.

The Lieutenant Governor was speaking at the “Inspirational Teachers Award" ceremony organized by Amar Ujala Group at Padma Shri Padma Sachdev Government College for Women, Gandhi Nagar, Jammu. At the ceremony, a total of 101 best inspirational teachers from various schools across Jammu were honoured with the prestigious Award.

In his address, the Lieutenant Governor lauded the valuable contribution of teaching community in shaping the character and cultivating the talents that boldly reshape the future at full throttle, equipping young students with skills and courage to brave an unpredictable world.

“I believe teachers and their craft form the backbone of a society and the soul of the nation,” the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor observed that like a master artisan at the forge, teacher knows learning ignites from sheer curiosity.

“Inspirational teachers avoid rote learning and they weave science into captivating tales that electrify the classroom and for them history transcends mere dates and timelines, blooming into vivid sagas of human triumphs and tumbles,” he said. The Lieutenant Governor highlighted that we need more inspirational teachers who can transform students from passive listeners into intrepid explorers.

“Teachers are bedrock of tomorrow. A classroom is not just four walls and a blackboard. A classroom is the glowing forge of a blacksmith, where raw futures are hammered and shaped anew. 

I envision classrooms where teachers don't merely dispense bookish answers but ignite inquiry with probing questions. To forge a knowledge economy and vibrant society, transform learners from passive consumers of information into sharp analysts who dissect it,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

The Lieutenant Governor exhorted upon the teachers to cultivate a culture of collaboration in their classrooms. “The truth is, tomorrow's world belongs to those who work as a team. So, we need to turn classrooms into collaboration hubs, where research, writing, and innovation unfold as collective quests,” he said.

The Lieutenant Governor further advised the teaching community to think beyond the curriculum's rigid map. He stated that curriculum offers mere direction, but creativity and curiosity propel students toward life's true readiness. The Lieutenant Governor said that a teacher must tie learning to life itself, so every day sparks fresh discoveries and generates further curiosity.

“In this AI era, teaching isn't about rote delivery but nurturing creativity. I believe humanity's greatest asset in future will be innovative and creative thinking. I want our teachers to break down preconceived boundaries and offer every student not just knowledge but unlimited possibilities,” he said.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.
